Dear Left Wingers: The President LOST the debate, ok? Get over it.
As usual, the left does not handle defeat well:
Reddit was up in arms last night after video from the first presidential debate in Denver posted to the site’s politics section appeared to show Mitt Romney pulling cheat notes at the debate. About 2 minutes and 15 seconds in to the video, the GOP nominee is seen putting his hand into his right pocket and placing what appears to be white paper on the podium.
But the Romney campaign told Whispers Friday that Romney was only pulling out a handkerchief.
A close analysis of video of the debate supports that. At 1:26:35 in the video, Romney picks up the same white object—clearly a handkerchief this time—to wipe his face.
This has been such a hot topic of discussion in bitter left wing circles that US News (linked above) actually called in a forensic video analyst to give their thoughts:
A forensic video analyst, who did not wish to be named because of pending state and federal cases he’s working on, says he also believes the white object was just a handkerchief.
“The size, thickness, and overall dimensionality when he first walks up to the podium is consistent with a handkerchief, and not with a single note card,” he tells Whispers. “The elemental movement and mechanics [later on in the video] also suggest it’s absolutely a handkerchief he picks up around his face.”
It’s surreal sometimes watching the way liberals react when they lose. They said the same thing about Bush allegedly “cheating” during a debate (I think it was against Kerry). As I wrote this morning on Twitter in a mini-rant, they just cannot comprehend the thought that people out there can do things better than they can, have better ideas than they do … so the other guy MUST HAVE CHEATED. Here’s more from this morning’s Twitter rant:
This is how Dems operate: They don’t handle losing well, whether it’s a debate, policy issue, election, so the other guy MUST HAVE CHEATED.

This is esp. true for elections – they can’t stomach the idea ppl wld REJECT their ideas, so the OTHER GUY must have stuffed the ballot box!

Notice in 2000, 2002, 2004 all the WIDESPREAD complaints about “voter fraud” from Dems? Didn’t hear it much in 2006, 2008, did you? #tactics

@kmich718 IMO, self-absorbed & unaware. When the GOP loses they’ll engage in introspection/change strategy. Dems always blame “the system.”

&, yes, GOP complains abt voter fraud, too, but NOT ONLY WHEN THEY LOSE.Yet the only time Dems are “concerned” is when they #fail to win.

BTW, BuzzFeed also confirms Romney was using a hanky and has sceencaps and video.
Here was a great suggestion from a Facebook friend, which I reposted on Twitter:
A suggestion, #p2, from a FB friend on the “hanky” issue: If we agree to allow Obama a crying towel at the next debate, will that = fair?

Heh.
Update: More left wing moonbattery and excuse-making. It never ends.
